Default Krypton Halogen install questions

OK, I just happened to drive the s2k to work today (78 degree sunny forcast!! ) , AND my new K lights came in for the highbeams.

DOnt have my book or anything!! I want to install here at the office. Do ya need any tools? Is it so easy that you cant possibly figure it out?

I guess I am asking how many s2k owners does it take to screw in a halogen high-beam light bulb

You don't need any tools, but...

1) You will get DIRTY.
2) If you have large hands you will find it difficult to change the bulbs.

You will be working blind in a cramped space. Its not as easy as changing them in some other cars. It can be done in 15 minutes or so, if your lucky!

Unplug. Squeeze the side with the tab and pull off the connector. Then pull out the rubber stopper. After that unclip the bulb holder from the light. Remove the bulb, replace with new, reverse all steps. On the drivers side you need to pull up the overflow tank for the radiator. It just lifts up. Lay it on the block or equipment close by.

I did it during lunch. Beautiful day!! They do look better than stock I think. Even in the daylight it is easy to see that the light is "whiter" with the Xenon bulbs.

It took me about 20 min. the first time. I think I could change them back in 10 now that I know how.

Thanks for the help!

Hello, check out your owners manual.
Nooo need for any tools. JUST SMALL HANDS
PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS PART OF THE BULBS
